Hey all,
I'm getting Token Equal expected for the second to last column i'm adding (highlighted). Can't for life of me workout why though. Any tips would be much appreciated.
= let
Dates = BaseDateTable,
CurrentDate = DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()),
CurrentYear = Date.Year(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow())),
CurrentMonth = Date.Month(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow())),
FilteredDates =
Table.SelectRows(
Dates,
each [Date] >=
Date.AddYears(CurrentDate,-3) and [Date] <=CurrentDate
),
DateCol = Table.SelectColumns(FilteredDates,"Date"),
YearCol =
Table.AddColumn(
DateCol, "Year", each Date.Year([Date]), Int64.Type
),
MonthNameCol =
Table.AddColumn(
YearCol, "Month Name", each Date.MonthName([Date], type
text
),
YearMonthCol =
Table.AddColumn(
MonthNameCol, "Year-Mo", each Text.From([Year]) & "-" & [Month Name], type text
),
MonthNumberCol =
Table.AddColumn(
YearMonthCol, "Month Number", each Date.Month([Date]), Int64.Type
),
WeekdayNameCol =
Table.AddColumn(
MonthNumberCol, "Weekeday", each Date.DayOfWeekName([Date])
),
DayNumberofWeekCol =
Table.AddColumn(
WeekdayNameCol, "Weekday Number", each Date.EndOfWeek([Date]), Int64.Type
),
YearStatusCol =
Table.AddColumn(YearStatusCol, "Year Status", each if Date.IsInCurrentYear([Date]) = true then "Current Year" else
if [Year] = CurrentYear - 1 then "Prior Year" else "Other Year", type text
),
MonthStatusCol =
Table.AddColumn(YearStatusCol, "Month Status", each if [Year Status] = "Current Year" and [Month Number] = CurrentMonth then "Current Month" else
if [Year] = Date.Year(Date.AddMonths(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()),-1)) and [Month Number] = Date.Month(Date.AddMonths(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()),-1)) then "Prior Month" else
"Other Month", type text
),
DayInMonthCol =
Table.AddColumn(MonthStatusCol,"Day in Month", each Date.Day([Date])), Int64.Type
),
WeekOfYearCol =
Table.AddColumn(DayInMonthCol,"Week of Year", each Date.WeekOfYear([Date])), Int64.Type
),
WeekOfMonthCol =
Table.AddColumn(WeekOfYearCol,"Week of Month", each Date.WeekOfMonth([Date])), Int64.Type
)
in
WeekOfMonthCol

Hi @BenTen22 ,
At a glance, I can see that at least the last three new columns will fail due to you closing the Table.AddColumn function prematurely. You should remove one of the close brackets after the column formula to allow the type defintion to be an argument within the Table.AddColumn function:

Thankyou Pete, also managed to miss a closing bracket further up. Issue now resolved.
